to my colleagues, good news today. when the announcement came that the president of the united states would send the same sympathy letter to families of those soldiers who committed suicide in battle as those who had fallen in different ways in battle. the reason why that is good news is because the sentence i'm reminded of is that the president and his office indicated that they did not want to stigmatize mental health concerns of our soldiers. i want to pay tribute to the defense appropriations committee for its work on post-traumatic stress disorder and to make note of our late friend, congressman john murtha, who worked with houston on establishing a new post-traumatic stress disorder center. i'm grateful for that. because as all of our states, many of us are facing the large numbers of returning soldiers from both iraq and afghanistan. so i ask for my amendment to be supported to increase research and development funding for post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. that affects our men and women
